the laughter of a happy child.
While waiting in line in Hobby Lobby on Saturday, I was behind a family with three young children. The oldest was, perhaps, eight. The middle sized one was a girl that was giggling and laughing as she played one of those hand tag games with her father as the mom was checking out. It was a nice change from kids that wail and carry on like they are being murdered because they can't have whatever they wanted in whatever store they happen to be shopping in.
I took advantage of a couple of their sales and got the fuseable fleece to finish the baby quilt among other things. My son did the babysitting drill and pushed me around in a wheelchair to get me and my clunky walking boot around faster. I also picked up some charms. I have bracelets to make. I have too many projects in my "to do" pile and need to get my rear into gear.
( Possibly TMI on my ankle. )
I'm going to write something today. Not sure what. Ah.. I know about who, but not what. Been promising to write for her for a long time. My goal is to do a story piece for some character or a non RP piece every other day. On my "other" days, I want to work on my crafts. Today is a story day. Tomorrow, I think I get the quilt and bib washed to prepare them for the finishing touches, if not do said touches.
Oh, due to PT, they woke me up this morning to arrange the appointment, thanks a lot, it's going to be a fairly early night for me. By early, I mean I need 5-6 hours sleep to get up at 7 or so. Anyone looking to RP, tonight, needs to catch me ASAP when they see me on.
I'm going to put words to paper, in the figurative sense, and then stretch on the couch. I have bills that need checks written and an audio book to listen to. Rest for me while healing is not a luxury, it's a necessity. Even time with my leg propped while listening to an audio book or reading helps. I've got a few Mary Higgins Clarks to listen to as well as Irish Whiskey by Andrew Greeley. It's the third in a series, didn't know that when the title caught my eye, but hey... I like it so far and it gives me a new author to look through..
